Andromeda sank barge on Mittelland Canal
On the Mittelland Canal in Oebisfelde the German flagged, self propelled barge "Rothensee", 772 ts (EU-No.: 04030590) sank with a cargo of 800 tons iron after the collision with the self propelled, Czech-flagged barge "Andromeda", 749 ts (EU-No.: 8348071), in the evening of Oct 28, 2014. The channel had to be closed for ship traffic and may be barred for some days. The sunken ship was trying to moor in Bergfriede but drifted straight into the fairway and was rammed by the "Andromeda". The two crew members of the "Rothensee" spent some time on the wheelhouse roof waiting for them to be rescued by firefighters. Only the bow and the aft remained above water. The "Andromeda" was barred from sailing for the length of investigations. German report with photos: http://www.mdr.de/sachsen-anhalt/magdeburg/schiffsunglueck-mittellandkanal100.html
